  hmm, that list is a lot longer than the Aussie train on list. Do the bottom teams have a lot more Tongans than then top teams?? (Anthropological question, not race)

    I'd say that the Samoan team has more players in the bottom 8 teams that can be selected. Most of the Islanders that are in the top 8 if they come from Samoa will play for N.Z.

  I think you failed on the question regardless of its nature. It's a Samoan not Tongan squad.

  If Junior Paulo and Pauli Pauli play in this side, what does that mean for their NSW eligbility?

  Honestly, if Junior finds another level which you think might be possible given his age, I reckon he'll be a bolter for NSW next year.

    Didnt Hayne play for Fiji - then NSW ? Or did they change the rule after that?

    They're still eligible for NSW and AUS. If you aren't selected for a top tier nation; Australia, N.Z, England then you can play for whatever other country you're eligible for.

    I think that's the way it goes anyway, international Rugby League is too confusing.

  I thought that was the case, but then Feleti Mateo had that issue where he played for Tonga and then they said he wasn't eligible for NSW?

    I believe they've changed the rule now so if you aren't selected for a top tier nation you can play for another country.

  Pauli Pauli played for NSW origin this year in the 20's.
